The two most telligent elephants a writer in the Illustrated Weekly of India ever knew liked liquor, tut, while one, an American zoo elephant named Zip, liked gin flavored with ginger, the other, a European circus elename unknown took his phant whisky straight: When Zip once got a bad stomach ache his beeper gave him a bucket of gin and ginger and put a mustard plaster on his stomach. For weeks Bfter that he would pretend to be ill, rolling on the ground in pretended agony. But he never got the gin again, only the less pleasant mustard plaster. The circus elephant was just the same, lie had a bottle ot whisky neat to cure a cold and then began having colds every week. Thc-tried him with cold tea in a whisky bottle but he promptly squirted it back into his attendants face. Beer and other less costly medicines were treated with the same contempt. Dad to Give In At last, in desperation they gave him his whisky. After that he became unmanageable if he did not get his drink now and then. He would swallow a bottle of whisky oil in two gulps and he never sufIt was fered the slightest his reward for being the cleverest of all elephants. Elephants, as we in India know, are among the most intelligent cf animals. Their sagacity is equal to, and often exceeds, that of the two other friends of man the horse end the dog. How exceptionally ts.

They will not even complete the job in hand. Down tools' is their slogan and no trade unionist could be stricter in his observance of the rules. The elephants belief in trade union principles is also illustrated on the rubber estates of Ceylon, where elephants are often employed to fell rubber trees. The lateral roots of the trees are cut through with an axe and elephants are put on to push the trees over.

His trunk will go up and he will advance to the tree, push his head forward and give a shoves. couple of experimental Then back he will go a step or two and turn his head away. Nothing, not even the goad, will persuade him to push again until a coolie with an axe has been summoned and those roots have been properly cut through. The elephants long memory is well known and is another sign of his exceptional intelligence. Cases have been known of elephants beby mahouts and not ing for years, but them again seeing when eventually brought face to face with the offenders they have remembered them at once. In one case on record. a circus elephant, a big Indian animal, took the law into his own hands and his old enemy to death j trampled within a minute of the man's entrance into his stall. Yet he had . not set eyes on the hated manon for over twenty years. It is when captive elephants are ill, however, that their intelligence is most strikingly revealed.
